[Sui and Tang Dynasties] The benefactor, the poor monk is a monk

Li Jiancheng had followed Li Yuan to fight all the way, so he already had enough experience, and he was well aware of the weaknesses of Liu Heita's similar way of fighting.

Now with the help of Wei Zheng and others, the victories are almost as free as if they were free, one after another, until Liu Heita ran away with his head in his arms.

In any case, in this part of Shandong, the prince's reputation has been fully demonstrated.

Until the end, Li Jiancheng asked Liu Hongji and Tanzong to lead a thousand cavalry to pursue Liu Heita, and cut down thousands of them into the water.

People in the world say that the poor should not chase after them, but Li Jiancheng has absolutely ruthless attacks on some people, telling them to chase them desperately, not to beat them to death, but to capture them alive and kill them in public.

This caused Liu Hongji to chase after the arrow with one arrow, only daring to shoot at the limbs of others. If he accidentally shot to death, he would have no way to explain it when he went back.

Tan Zong, who had also trained archery at Li Shimin's side, probably didn't have much talent for archery, so he could only help Liu Hongji fight and kill other soldiers.

Until the end, there were only more than 100 cavalry left beside Liu Heita.

Liu Heitai, who is also considered a small hero, has fallen to such a point, he can only sigh, after all, Datang is still so lucky that he can't resist it.

Liu Heitai's ending is also expected.

Everyone wanted to go to the city to find some food, but they were invited into the urn by the king, and the governor of Raozhou tactfully sent it to Li Jiancheng, and bought a good one.

Li Jiancheng sneered and took the man to Mingzhou, where he beheaded him, and Shandong was pacified since then.

After the teacher returned to the court, the funeral of Princess Pingyang was also held.

The funeral was held in a grand manner, and both men and women admired this princess who could go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.Li Shimin's subordinate Chai Shao, who is also the husband of Princess Pingyang, looks like he is about to cry or not, and he is probably extremely sad.

Some people marry wives and virtuous men, but in this troubled world, the general Chai Shao may think that marrying Princess Pingyang is one of the most worthy things in his life.

A few months later, the Turks had another quarrel. This time, the emperor directly sent Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin over there. I don’t know if he wanted to get away with it, or he decided to let his two sons fight on their own. .

Tan Zong felt that going to the battlefield with Li Jiancheng was the time when he felt most at ease during these days.

For example, when dealing with something, sneak past the main account and take a look.

That's it, very reassuring.

……

After the incident in Shandong, Turkic was tentatively scheduled. The emperor felt that the foreign troubles were almost resolved, so he finally decided to go to rest, found a place and decided to take a vacation.Now that the crown prince is very powerful, and there is still King Qin who has contributed a lot to suppress him, and King Qin can't surpass the crown prince he supported, so he is more at ease about this.

In fact, as the emperor expected, when the Shandong Turkic incident ended, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's subordinates were on guard against each other, and they were almost one step away from upgrading to the first level of alert, especially when the Li brothers began private training.

Tan Zong was sandwiched between the two, and was questioned privately by many acquaintances in the Xuanjia Army. For example, Cheng Yaojin, who looked rough but thoughtful, came to him.

There is also Li Shimin's loyal party member Wei Chigong, although his dark face is embarrassed, he also leans forward and asks if there are any details to disclose.

Regarding this, Tanzong can only say... the poor monk really doesn't know anything.

The whole of Chang'an is prosperous, but there is always a taste of murderous intentions. However, the two parties involved, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, were so calm that they did not reveal their intentions at all.

Tan Zong, who finally got a rest, also felt the tense atmosphere, yes, it was because of this group of questioning people who made him nervous.

He was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to ask questions.

Because the two brothers were still in the same room planning how to better handle the relationship between the two, and deal with the worries and suspicions of the Tang emperor. It has only been a few months, and it is unlikely that they will directly confront each other.

Even if it is true that they are going to face each other with swords——

He put Li Jiancheng first, but he didn't want him to fight with brother Li Shimin.One is because Li Jiancheng may not be able to strike, and the other is because he and Li Shimin were born and died together on the battlefield.

Although Li Jiancheng was very busy because the emperor wanted to delegate power because he wanted to play, he also noticed the silence of Tanzong.

"Why, you don't like taking a break?" Li Jiancheng teased, "Why don't you go to the battlefield with me?"

Tan Zong immediately stated: "No, no, I wish I could pour tea and ink for you every day, dress and warm the bed. Well, I'm better at undressing."

Li Jiancheng: "..."

Seeing Li Jiancheng's dumbfounded look, Tan Zong let out a breath: "I have a question I want to ask, but I don't know whether I should ask it or not."

Li Jiancheng smiled lightly: "You said that there is a problem, can I still stop you from asking?"

"... Li Shimin, what are you going to do?" Tan Zong asked.

Li Jiancheng was not surprised by this question, but still smiled: "Have you heard the rumors outside? Oh, are you afraid that he will fight for the crown prince? How will he fight for it? If he can beat me, it's okay to give him my position. It's a pity that he wins." It must be me."

Seeing Li Jiancheng's self-confidence, Tan Zong stared at him with his chin: "... If he really fights, will you kill him?"

Li Jiancheng didn't nod or shake his head, but asked Tan Zong: "Which one do you think is more cruel to Li Shimin, losing all power or dying?"

The answer to this question is clear to both of them, it must be the former.

But in the end Tanzong still laughed along with the prince: "You won't bear it."

Li Jiancheng smiled even more: "Since you know, then you still ask."

"Then your descendants..." Tan Zong thought of the Crown Princess, those children were not direct descendants of the Li family.

"I think it is also feasible to make Li Yuanji the emperor's younger brother. And if Li Yuanji is the next heir, then at least Li Shimin will think it over again." Li Jiancheng had already made up his mind and revealed his purpose.

"Li Shimin is black from the inside. If he wants to pass you, he will either force you to make mistakes, or directly seize the position. He has a murderous heart, and he is unbelievable. But now, I think, he and you should have the same idea." Tan Zong has been with Li Shimin for a while and knows him well.

Li Jiancheng nodded and agreed with Tanzong's point of view: "And he has a fatal weakness——

"Li Yuanji."

"Li Yuanji."

The two spoke in unison, looked at each other and laughed.

…………

Now that the war was over, Tanzong went back to Shaolin Temple.

As soon as a group of people saw Tanzong appearing, they immediately surrounded him and beat him up.

Yes, after a beating, no one kept their hands, and they even picked the tender meat's dead spots.

Tan Zong's body was stained with a lot of blood, but he didn't dare to show it to the people in Shaolin Temple, and he didn't even dare to take out his own stick to beat him, because he was afraid that his attack would not be serious.

Hui Yu didn't participate in it, but he was in charge of the guidance: "Who, where should I hit? The elbow is aimed at the joints, and the Ma Jing is hit. Yes, yes, yes, yes, the acupuncture points are aligned. "

Until the end, Tan Zong could only roar: "Don't slap your face!" Then he knelt down and surrendered with his head in his arms.

This roar startled the besiegers. I thought that Tan Zong was going to use the lion's roar, and they were all ready to defend, but when they got such a sentence, they all laughed so hard that the group couldn't continue the fight .

Tan Zong saw that the crowd didn't intend to beat him anymore, so he poked his head out and asked weakly, "Is the beating over?"

This time, the staggering monks laughed so hard that they slapped the ground with their stomachs in their arms.

Hui Jue clapped his hands and greeted all the monks: "Come on, let me carry the person in. Hey, this Tanzong is stupid in fighting, and he will fall on the ground when he enters the door."

"..." Tan Zong was furious after being beaten up and found a reason, "Monks don't lie!"

Hearing the retort, Hui Ju looked Tan Zong up and down with a half-smile but not a smile: "Have you started moving your hands and feet? If you haven't, we will move around again."

When Tan Zong heard this, his face was serious, and he walked towards the interior of Shaolin Temple consciously, and said as he walked: "I'm timid near the hometown, I'm timid near the hometown, it's all good, you can look at me, don't let me Fall again."

Under Li Shimin's command, the Luoyang area slowly regained its former vitality.

Along the way, the farming and business that the common people should be farming, is more than 01:30 better than the desolate scene in Shandong where they dare not even open the door.

Under such circumstances, Shaolin Temple accepted fewer people than before, and the atmosphere in the temple was much better.

As soon as the abbot saw Tan Zong enter the door, he sighed quietly: "Hey, people, no matter how you change, your heart will never change."

Tanzong respectfully saluted the abbot: "Today, Tanzong..."

The abbot waved his hand and stopped Tan Zong's next words: "I know what you want to say. Let's hear something first."

Tan Zong looked at the abbot. In the past few years, this old monk, now the wrinkles on his face are getting deeper and deeper, but he looks more kind. Although he just grinned from the beating, he is still nodding calmly to listen to the abbot. say.

"In this world, there are tens of millions of Buddhist believers and tens of thousands of temples. Some people in the court have been trying to curb the temples, and even proposed to abolish Buddhism. Under such circumstances, I intend to set a precedent and establish another Layman disciples, you can keep your hair."

The abbot only said this to a few people around him, and the monks who came in with Tanzong had never heard of it, so they couldn't help being in an uproar at the moment.

The abbot did not stop: "But there are other requirements. Lay disciples must pass the test before they can go down the mountain. Otherwise, they will be Buddhist disciples and cannot grow hair or go down the mountain. The martial arts test includes Wooden Man Alley, Eighteen Arhat Formation, Shaolin Temple Stick Technique, etc. And so on, and the Buddhist scripture test is the scriptures that are recited on weekdays, and finally you need to get the permission of the master you worship before you can become a lay disciple."

After talking for a long time, the abbot breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes sparkled: "Tanzong, today you have become my first lay disciple in Shaolin Temple. From now on, please remember that the Buddha is in the heart, not the form."

Tan Zong didn't shave his own hair. These days, his hair has grown a lot from the prickly bristles. At this moment, he knelt down on his knees, worshiped three times devoutly, and said: "Yes."
